Mr Woo told JMU Journalism: “With Bundobust and Mowgli, places are doing brilliant Indian vegan food, but no one was doing Chinese so we knew there was a gap in the market for it.”

He added: “It literally came from an idea and a pint. Three weeks later we viewed the property, bid on it and two and a half months later, here we are. It’s mad.”

The vegan business sold out of food within four hours on Sunday, forcing them to close earlier than they had planned. The owners are yet to set official opening and closing hours and hope to have them decided by the end of the week.

Despite Woo Tan Scran only opening over the weekend, the team is already thinking of expanding its business.

Mr Woo told JMU Journalism: “As soon as we get this up and running, we want to hopefully do one in every city because the market is there for it.”
